My 4th GGrandfather came from Ireland. According to voter registration records in California, he was naturalized in Montgomery County in 1850, his declaration of intent was filed June 1, 1847 in Mohawk Valley, Herkimer, NY at age 21.

Aaron Stewart Black is my 3rd great grandfather, born Ireland in 1815, he married Anne Neilson or Nelson in 1844 and died in 1905.
